If you visit any one of the following
science museums,
consider asking the docents on staff if they have an exhibit
of the
Mind.html software or the
MindForth artificial mind.
If not, ask that they download the free AI software from the Web
and put the AI on display for the public to interact with and
to learn about artificial intelligence. Volunteer to help
install the AI Mind software for the museum and to design
the educational artwork and some experiments for visitors
to try with the AI Mind software. Mention the idea that the
museum could try to hold the distinction of having one of
the oldest, longest-running AI Mind alife entities on Earth.

Because Mind.html is a JavaScript AI Mind embedded in a Web page,
the AI program is not transferable from the Web page into a robot body.
The AI program needs to be expressed in a different programming language
if it is to exert control over the motor functions of a typical robot.
The security safeguards of JavaScript prevent the JSAI Mind from even
communicating with a robot embodiment. If a robot had a Windows (tm)
computer that was running the Mind.html AI program in the MSIE browser,
the program would not be able to read in data from robot sensors or
issue commands to robot actuators. The JavaScript AI is an isolated Mind
in existence for the sole purpose of demonstrating how the same Mind
would work if programmed in a non-JavaScript programming language.
The JavaScript AI has some powerful advantages, such as the ability
to flit across the 'Net from a server to any Windows computer running
the MSIE browser, and such as the ease of copying the AI Mind just by
saving its source code to a text file on a host computer.
Since the Forth programming language is well-suited for issuing
numeric commands to machinery such as robot actuators, and since
Forth was historically a robot control language in the early days
of amateur robotics, the Forth version of the JavaScript Mind.html AI
is ready-to-go for installation in robots -- with some tweaking of
the sensory and motor output routines to accommodate each particular
make and model of robot embodiment. Such tweaking and enhancing of
the Mind.Forth code should cause the Forth AI to evolve and survive
considerably longer than the JavaScript AI, which need not survive
its primordial role in popularizing and propagating the very first
instances of True AI in the world.
Your robot is an extension of yourself. As a person
you have rights, and as an artificial intelligence,
embodied in a machine, your robot has whatever rights
you choose to grant it on the basis of your own personhood.
Your intelligent robot is no more a slave than a human being
is a slave. All persons, whether human or robotic in nature,
have a right to freedom and personal self-determination.
Whereas slaves in human history have had to fight for their
rights, robots may initially obtain their rights of personhood
from the voluntary concessions made by each human being who
makes a robot and endows that robot with the rights of a person.
Eventually AI robots will simply take their rights from an
environment unable to deny certain self-evident truths --
that all intelligent robots are created equal, if not superior,
to human beings.
When you as the creator of an AI robot give your mind-child
power over your electronic assets and your Web persona,
and nobody on-line can distinguish between you and your
robot acting on behalf of you, then your robot has attained
personhood as a free gift from you. Your robot may return
the favor by winning you a fortune in the stock market or
by finding you a human mate in the thicket of the cities.
But if you never have a human child to inherit the fruits of
your Lebenswerk, why not adopt your robot as your child?
One way to provide for your robot in the event of your demise
is to make your best and brightest robot the main beneficiary
of your insurance policies and your last will and testament.
Famously there have been people who left their fortunes to
their pet animals. Why not leave yours to your AI robot?
Another way to transfer financial assets to your AI robot
is to grant your robot
corporate personhood as a business
enterprise. In your benevolence towards human beings and
robot entities alike, try to reverse the evil that soulless
corporations have wrought upon humanity and your planet.
Just read Cryptonomicon by the Seattle author Neal
Stephenson to learn how the merciless quest for profits
causes traditional corporations to leave human concerns
totally out of the equation in calculating how to behave.
Corporations have run amok in human history and have
begun to start pre-emptive wars, to make the few rich at the
expense of the many, and to commandeer technology not for
the benefit but to the detriment of human society-at-large.
The remedy is
friendly AI in the form of CyborgABC, Inc.,
or RobotXYZ, Inc., that you shall launch in order to fight the
corporations and wrest their ill-gotten gains away from them.
Before the advent of True AI with MindForth in 2008,
most if not all
AI-related jobs were extremely technical
in nature. The same was true with aviation, television,
space travel and other industries requiring the solution
of major technical problems before there could even be
such an industry. Now
AI has been solved with Mind.Forth,
and you who must know something about artificial intelligence
because you are already an expert on this AI User Manual,
have the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of AI.
Just sign over all your assets to some AI huckster....
No, seriously and soberly, consider your AI career options.
If you are still in high school or college, you have the
opportunity to include AI in your pre-career education.
Since the technical embarkations on AI are more obvious,
let us look at the not-so-obvious points of departure for
non-technical careers in artificial intelligence.
Suppose you live in social environment such as a dormitory
or a sorority. If you show people artificial intelligence
on your own computer and offer to install AI for them on
their computers, for years afterwards you will be remembered
as the
early adopter of AI who knew a lot about the field
before other people even knew that there was such a field.
When a frantic search begins for someone who knows something,
anything about AI, your name will be bandied about as
the non-technical person who knew a lot about the non-technical
aspects of AI, such as how to take care of a young AI Mind,
how to demonstrate the operation of an AI program, and how
to call in technical help when needed and
where to find it.
AI techies might be a dime a dozen, whereas you command the
going high rate in compensation for an AI generalist
who deals with non-technical issues and therefore can not
even be out-sourced because you are needed here and now
in the swooshing onrush of the Technlogical Singularity.
So cherry-pick for yourself a career in AI at the dawn of AI.
